jacey | Movie of the Week: Knives Out (Reply)

Stylish whodunnit with a star-studded cast including Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis, Daniel Craig and Chris Evans.

When popular author, Harlan Thrombey (Plummer) commits suicide, the family gathers. It's shocking, but fairly straightforward until private detective Benoit Blanc (Craig) arrives on the scene, saying he's been hired by someone unknown to determine whether it is a genuine suicide or whether something more sinister is going on.

It's the old adage of: 'Where there's a will, there's a family feud,' though in this case the whole family is outraged when the beneficiary is revealed at the will reading. Some nice twists.

Classy and smart, though I couldn't quite get to grips with Daniel Craig's southern American accent. Cuban actress Anna de Armas is excellent as the central character, Marta Cabrera, the deceased's nurse/carer.

Well worth a watch.
